Here I Am

This is Ernest Hemingway's studio, where he wrote almost every one of his books over the nine years he lived here on Whitehead Street.

I stood here in Key West today because JB and I are in Florida for a fantastic two weeks.

This is an untouched sunset at Mallory Square in Key West last night--an incredible twenty minutes or so of watching the sun fall and disappear.

I appreciate the inquiries about where I've been. Thank you. I'm still here and I'll be back shortly with my happy version of colors and words.

Tonight I am back in Fort Lauderdale ready to celebrate JB's birthday tomorrow and ready for another day of pool, gym, lunch, beach, beach, pool, and dinner. And maybe hopefully I think some writing and some drawing.

'The Light Stays On' is my first novel. You can buy it through Paypal here if you'd like to.

Synopsis

Is it morally defensible for a wife and mother to leave her family because she's fallen in love with someone else?
What if that wife and mother is terminally ill?
And what if that someone else is another woman?
For Alex Fournier, it is the pull of obligation and duty to her husband and children. For Lily Peterson, it is the challenge of loving a woman who belongs somewhere else.
They are apart for seven years, until a terminal illness strikes. When they finally meet again, they begin an unforeseen and unimaginable journey through a maze of confusing and tender connections with each other and the innocent people who love them.

About Me

I am interested in just about everything. I love people who struggle and others who glide. I love art, dogs and little sacred spaces. I am a gallivanter, driving along back farm roads and leisurely supping expresso in a left bank Parisian cafe. I am interested in the way the world works, the magnifigance of light at sunset and color in April. I love a good challenge and stumbling upon the perfect word.
